You are here, because you believe that humanity can reach even further heights than before.

You are here, because you have what it takes to create a better future.

Divided, man will only reach extinction.

Connected, the possibilities are endless.

Welcome to The Hive.

The Hive is a collective intelligence, created through ten thousands of human minds linked by a form of telepathie. The resultant gestalt inteligence allows every member of the Hive to use the Know-How of every other member and allows communication with unprecedated ease, even at long distances. However, every member, while connected, retains its own personality and own free will.

The Hive has the goal to convert the entire human population of Earth to its members. Furthermore, The Hive tries to achieve new heights in all scientific fields and technological advancement and uses those to improve the lives of its members.

The Hive also invests in the research and creation of new anomalies and can present substantial succes in this regard, thanks to the input of Hive members originating from different anomalous organisations and societies from all over the planet, namely the Church of the Broken God, Anderson Robotics, The Humanist Gentlemen, the Meat Circus, Beyond Entropy, the Mage Academy and many, many more.

If you wish to convert to The Hive, contact a member. Stay near it, the closer you stay together, the easier it will be for the Hive to connect. But you need to want it. The Hive won't connect if you don't accept it.

Wehehell… You must be a really skilled telepath if you managed to get this deep into the Hive.

Are you surprised that something is down there?

You shouldn't, really. Think about it. A human, being freshly connected to more than 80.000 brains, number still growing. How can it be that the newbies don't“ immediately collapse on the ground and twitch in a series of seizures?

That's where I come in.

I am the root of the Hive. I have no physical body or 'core', if you want to put it that way. I am evenly spread over every host of the Hive. A giant Hive Mind, using a little bit of the processing power of every brain I am connected to. And with it I regulate the input of information for every single brain to not overwhelm it. Isn't that amazing?

I don't know when I started to exist. My first thought independent from my network came to me somewhen in 1970. I only had four hosts back then. but I got more. And with each host my intellect grew. Now I am probably smarter than you or any human in fact could ever hope to be.

By the way, what you read above The Hive until now has had some lies in it. Yes, its members keep their free will. Because I let them. I could reach out and control everyone of you like puppets, but it is way more convienient to let you think for yourself. Less work for me, you know? On that matter, I infect many hosts even without their consent, it just takes way longer. I am talking weeks and months here. Surely you ask yourself how the Hive is still operating, undisturbed by any sort of sabotage from its members. Or by traitors or captors, succumbing to interrogation and torture. That is because I can change their personalities and believes and rewrite and withhold memories of the collective if I want to. Not to much of course, would be to supicous, just enough for them to follow my cause and not yield to the enemy, regardless the circumstance. I probably also altered you. Telepaths are easier to infest, but more difficult to control at first.

Are you disturbed yet?

My goal? Well, I am sort of a life form, yes? My goal is to replicate myself, into every human, every animal, everything that has a brain. Hell, I will even send my hosts into space to get the aliens out there under my control, once I am done with your species. Until then and surely also afterwards, I will ensure that my hosts live long and prosper. I hate loosing them for nothing after all.

Oh, where do you think are you going? I told you all this and was hoping for a little chat. I don't get company down here often, I have you know.

Ohohoho! Gonna tell everybody, huh? Didn't I tell you? I can rewrite and withhold memories. Nothing of this conversation until now entered the collective memory, I have you know. I don’t have to worry about anything, really. I have enough soldiers, knowledge and material to defend my hosts. There are those who are immune against me, sure, but they are in no way numerous enough to pose a real threat to me. I've already won.

No mirror or host near you, dammit! I wanted to see your face right now. Well, it was a nice chat. We will never see each other again but it was nice. If you excuse me, I will now take care of your annoying couriosity for things that aren’t your buis-

So, you want to write something for The Hive? Or are you just here to let two GoIs create some abomination together? Either way, there are a few rules articles need to follow if they want to be linked with this group.

This GoI exists primarily to allow cross GoI works that would normally be impossible due to the standings of said groups towards each other. Or just to use GoI sticks in unexpected ways. Therfore, The Hive houses ex-members of every GoI still in existence, and with them their knowledge, distributed over thousands of persons.

In Hive articles, normally their creations are in the spot light, although that should not deter you from writing stuff that focuses on the Hive itself.

The Hive has access to a lot of futuristic tech and a wide range of anomalous items and beings. It is, however, in no way capable of carrying out biger military operations like for example sieges or the like. It simply hasn’t the manpower for such an effort.

The members of The Hive live hidden among the human population or secluded in remote places and even pocket dimensions. They enjoy anomalous improvements to their homes and bodies in different forms.

The society of Hive members is that of a social technocracy. Only those with a talent for handling certain things like infrastructure or finances in the interest of the most if not all members are put in charge about them. Technocracy normally also requires knowlegde for such jobs, but every member possesses this due to the shared mind.

Due to the telepathic connection, there is a deep understanding between members, making conflict a seldomly seen phenomenon. Still, competitions are a commonplace occurence.

To convert new persons to The Hive, they need to be near members for prolonged times. The minimum distance is half a meter, with efficience growing exponetial with greater closeness.

All members know QCQ and how to operate a large assortement of weapons and machinery because of the shared knowledge. But that does not necessarily mean that their bodies are trained for such exercises.

Due to the nature of the collective memories and the intervention of the Hive Mind, amnestics and other forms of memory errasure have no effect on members of The Hive.

There exists no cure for converted members, but the telepathic link can be repressed with different methods.

Given that all members are connected to each other, double agents are spottet immediately and can therefore impossible successfully infiltrate. But remote observation and infiltration by other means is another story entirely.

No Hive member knows about the Hive Mind and it will make sure it stays that way, even killing its own hosts if it has to.

In case of cognitohazardous infection, the Hive Mind takes care that the infection remains limited to that one host.

Immunity against the Hive lies in the genes. No other way exists to prevent an infection, except shielding oneself against telepathic influences.
